I had my first Tarot card reading yesterday

by the lovely Rickie Hurov

and I touched and shuffled the cards then pulled out the

High Priestess

card from the deck for my future..

It inspired this poem..

♥

The photograph was taken in Thailand, high above the ocean’s shoreline in a

sacred temple

of

bells

These tiny ones worked on a pulley system, the other larger bells were strung round the temple, to be rung with a wooden mallet, calling for protection from the heavenly deities,

evoking the

Buddhist tradition

of practicing

mindfulness

♥

Of course, ever the school teacher, I began ringing them one at a time until my partner sprinted past ringing them in rapid succession!

Love,
